Welcome to day 1 of this blog challenge. So after a few minutes of trying to decide which challenge to choose (albeit the very similar topics of each one), I chose this for this month: This is the second blog challenge that I will be taking on. Blame it on boredom or stress, I guess. I haven’t ran out of things to blog, really, but there are times that I just want to have something to think about besides work. And thinking of what to write based on the daily challenge is perfect for that. At least I don’t have […]
Blog Challenge Pt 2: Up for another challenge?
Last November, I searched for a blog challenge and a photo challenge online just so I can have something to write and post in this blog. Since it is already July, my birth month, I have been thinking for doing another blog challenge. I haven’t decided yet if I will include a photo challenge but just the same, I am definitely doing one. I was able to find a few interesting blog challenges online but some of the topics included, I have already blogged about last year. And then I found a 30-day open letter challenge and it sounds interesting: Here […]

Blog Challenge: What I liked Most about this challenge The past thirty days has been fun. Some of the daily challenges made me think, some of them made me remember. And what I like most about the challenge was it gave me an avenue to somehow get to know myself again. There were things that I forgot about myself for the past few years and remembering them was really fun. It made me smile, it made me wince and it made me shake my head and thought to myself “what was I thinking back then?” LOL! It was a road […]

Blog Challenge: Favorite Ice cream flavor I don’t think I have a favorite flavor, so to speak, but I prefer anything with coffee in it. 😛 But there are times that I like chocolate-flavored icecream and there are times that I like plain vanilla because I can put different toppings or fruits in it. But more often than not, any flavor will do, expecially if it’s free. Haha! When I was young, I think my favorite was mango icecream. I like mangoes in general so I think that was the idea. Like everything with mango. 😛 Then I found out […]

Blog Challenge: Favorite time of the year This is something that I have thought about for a long time. When I was still in school, I would have answered vacation period because I don’t need to wake up early to go to school and no homework to think of. Or probably, I’d say Christmas because of the usual reasons – holidays, gifts, noche buena, Christmas spirit and everything that comes with it. Then there was this time (it was just a few months ago) that I realized that I love September. Fiscal year end. LOL! Some would say I have […]

Blog Challenge: What’s your guilty pleasure? I would say that I have quite a few guilty pleasures. Let’s just not mention them here to save the embarrassment of those with sensitive tastes. 😛 Yeah, right! Haha! For a long, long time, I had the feeling that all that I spend for myself and myself alone was considered guilty pleasure. Let’s go back to the past. I grew up in a financially poor family (I have to be specific about the poor thing. Because it is possible to say that you are rich in happiness but poor in finances and so […]

Blog Challenge: 3 Online friends you’ve never met in real life but hope to soon I have quite a few online friends in Facebook that I haven’t met yet. A lot of them are online sellers whom I’ve bought stuff for baby gifts and for my baby’s needs as well. It would be nice to meet them some time, too. I have already met a couple of them at a bazaar I went to before I gave birth. I also have an online friend for about ten years now that I haven’t met yet. So, here’s the three that I […]

Blog Challenge: What’s your favorite food? I don’t think I have a specific favorite. I do like several dishes but of course, I wouldn’t want that to be my food every day or every single meal even. A few “favorites” (well, I don’t have just one): 1) pinikpikan 2) grilled milkfish 3) crispy pata 4) cupcakes!!!! So, there. Do I need to explain why? Hmmm… Nah. Go to the Northern part of Luzon to get a taste of pinikpikan. The rest, you can have them anywhere in the country. You can Google the photo of the first three if you’re […]

Blog Challenge: Describe your location My location. Let’s see. I have been living in the “big” city for the past 8.5 years now where traffic is loud and traffic jams are part of everyday commute life, malls are beside each other, flyovers are everywhere (but still, traffic jams don’t ease up), the climate is a lot warmer than where I come from, tall buildings are sprouting like mushroom, a little rain floods the streets and again, causes traffic jams, taxi drivers don’t give exact change, and your every move would almost literally mean spending money. My exact specific location as […]

Blog Challenge: Describe your most embarrassing moment I’ve had quite a lot of embarrassing moments in my life. But I cannot remember a lot of them. I guess I could say that I refuse to remember them. All I know is that a lot of those embarrassing moments were drunken moments, too. Either I have a hazy memory of those events or I had a black out when those happened that until now, I cannot really remember. And that’s fine with me. So, I guess that’s already a hint. The most embarrassing moments in my life were when I was […]
